  Historical Southern Families by John Bennett Boddie 1957 pages 281-290. (Sorrell of England and Virginia copied from Visitations of Essex 1634; Harleain Society Volume 13, pages 490-491) His burial was provided for in his will. No information other than he leaves his lands and affairs in the keeping of his brother, John Sorrell. The will is said to have been in French or Latin. His land seems to be part of Essex, which is now London. The Sorrells were traditionally Hugenots. “HISTORICAL SOUTHERN FAMILIES” Volume I by John Boddie A John, Robert and Richard Sorel registered at Oxford University between 1273-1300. They may have been students from France. A search of the English Calender of the State Papers should reveal how long the family resided in England before the time of first William Sorrell in the Visitations.
